Microsoft.pk and 284 Other .PK Domains Get Hacked

Saturday, November 24, 2012

Microsoft.pk is also among the defaced websites hacked using the same technique by same Turkish hackers. As reported hacking of Google.com.pk by Turkish hackers. It is surprisingly strange that hackers have targeted more than 200 .PK domains.As per Irfan Ahmed, who is an Entrepreneur, geek, hacker, coder in Pakistan and reports frequently about Pakistan websites on his blog, this defacement is due to change in DNS entries for 284 .PK domains being managed by MarkMoniter.
The hacked webpages Microsoft.PK, Google.com.pk, paypal.PK, apple.PK, chrome.PK, ebay.PK, blogspot.PK, Cisco.PK and others.
All defaced .PK domains are showing following same message which makes it confirm that it is hacked by Turkish hackers.It remains unclear and unsure that whether the passwords have been compromised and how hackers managed to get through the user console of PKNIC. In case access to PKNIC is taken away visitors are destined to remain unreachable to these sites as offices are closed on weekends and will open on Monday. A message in Turkish on Microsoft.pk has been left as follows:

“Eboz of a friend always there for me My homies have not shot by me with every breath”
At the bottom of the page, the hackers added a big question mark followed by the tag line that when translated read:
“Hello friends who are still alive, not dead!”

On their defacement page, the Pakistani hackers reveal not only their reasons for breaching the sites, but also the vulnerability they exploited.

“Why we have wasted our time to hack Pakistani Sites? Just because let us convey our message. We warned you and we were willing to fix your vulnerability but you think we are jokers and you guys took it as a joke? Yes it’s time to bang you guys!!” the hackers wrote.
